Wastewater Engineering: Sludge Reduction, Grit Removal & Cost-Saving Dryers | WEFTEC SERIES | EP5
Simon Randle of HUBER Technology US & CA talks sludge reduction, grit removal, solar and belt dryers, and turning wastewater sludge into reusable products.
In this episode of Engineers for Communities, guest Simon Randle from HUBER Technology US & CA takes a close look at sludge reduction, grit removal and cost-saving dryers for wastewater treatment.
The discussion looks at ways to cut the sludge a plant has to haul away. It also covers the savings that come from turning sludge into reusable products, with lower landfill and transportation costs.
Guest
Simon Randle, HUBER Technology US & CA.
In this episode
- How solar dryer systems dry sludge in sunny climates, and the environmental and efficiency benefits they offer.
- How focusing on sludge minimization over wastewater biology can reduce transport costs.
- How a strain press removes fibers and plastics from sludge, leaving cleaner, more manageable waste for disposal.
- Grit removal technology that captures finer particles than traditional systems.
- A belt thermal dryer that turns sludge into a dry product that can be used as fertilizer.
